letters to the unknown

17.

the knock startled jungkook.

a small 'come in' was let out of his lips and he heard the door open.

it seemed like an angel had just stepped down from paradise.

his skin glowed, as if he was the sole star, surrounded by darkess of the night.

the older boy's hair was falling on his forehead, tired eyes clearly visible.

even though, he still looked eternally beautiful.

"hey."

his honey like voice melted all the harmful walls jungkook had built.

jungkook gave him a small smile, which he happily returned, his eyes crinkling.

"hi. please sit."

jungkook gestured him to sit on the sofa as he himself got up from his bed.

before he could get up, he found the older by his side, helping him.

the small action was the maximum affection he had gotten in a long while. little things like these were making jungkook open his heart more to the older.

as they both sat, neither of them looked each other in the eye.

jungkook gathered up the courage and introduced himself.

"nice to meet you. i'm jeon jungkook."

"i'm park jimin, nice to finally meet you."

they both smiled at each other, but jungkook's seemed a bit forced.

"how are you? i mean, are you okay now? why are you here?"

he sighed.

he had decided that he would tell the boy everything. all his insecurities and questions, he'd realise them out, in the world.

"i got into an accident."

as soon as he said those five words, jimin quickly engulfed him in a hug. he caressed the younger boy's hair and a few tears left his eyes.

he wasn't sure as to why he was crying. had jungkook become important to him?

had he?
